  • Maybe, but we feel there are better options out thereWith its mature look, steady performance, and reasonable price, the Legion has a lot to offer, but we feel there are better options out there. Still, this laptop has a lot going for it. The subdued aest...

  • Easy on the wallet, Stays cool, Comfortable keyboard
  • Dim display, No chroma or macro programmability
  • With the Y520, it starts and ends with price. Lenovo's gamer is only a contender because of its price to performance ratio. It may lack many of the super features of a premium gamer (per key customization; bombastic speakers; vibrant display), but at the...

  • Powerful Core i7 processor, Comfortable backlit keyboard, Good selection of I/O ports, Sleek, for a 15.6in gaming laptop
  • Struggles with 1080p gaming, Limited choice of UK models, Single-channel memory, Small 128GB SSD
  • The Lenovo Legion Y520 has the makings of a solid mainstream gaming laptop. Build quality is good, the chassis is relatively sleek for a 15.6in PC with gaming ambition, connectivity options are plentiful and the full-size backlit keyboard is satisfying to...

  • The Lenovo Legion Y520 is a great pick for those of you that only have about $900-$1000 to spend and want a good all-round laptop that can also handle FHD gaming well. This one offers much for the buck and is overall a well built computer with a good keyb...

  • We like the look of the Legion Y520-15. Physically, rather than on paper and in practice, because we don't believe that the selection of parts delivers an overall experience best for gaming.Undoubtedly this is a stylish, compact and strong system for gene...

  • Solid build quality, Sleek design, Decent gaming performance, Crisp, clear screen, Games well with WQHD (2560x1440) external monitor, Reasonably priced, Minimal bloatware
  • No VR support with GTX 1050 Ti, Subpar battery life (to be expected), No webcam
  • If you're a casual gamer looking for a lighter and more affordable gaming laptop, you should definitely take a look at the Lenovo Legion Y520 as it offers decent performance for the price.*We were sent a review unit of the Lenovo Legion Y520 Gaming Laptop...

  • Low Profile minimalistic design, Read Speed of the M.2 Drive, No flex on the keyboard area, Lenovo Nerve Sense, Good daily driver
  • DDR4 SODIMM slots packed and blocked by the cooling unit, 128 GB for a primary drive is too small for the price, Removing the underside plate needs some care
  • Same guts different brands!The Lenovo Y520-15IKBN has similar CPU/GPU/memory and screen size specs as the Dell Inspiron 7000. I haven't tested it but its always a point of reference as many manufacturers would have the same specification with some changes...
